Chapter 656: Chapter 619: All Settled and Asleep Safely
As the Flying was hurriedly loading the second batch of rcury in the Swamp Space, another row of System Prompts swept across the screen:
——System Prompt: Your Flying has produced 150 units of Concentrated rcury from its special space.
——System Prompt: Your Flying has produced 200 units of Concentrated rcury from its special space.
——System Prompt: Your Flying has acquired 177 units of Refined Crystal from its special space.
——System Prompt: Your Flying has acquired 173 units of Refined Crystal Sulfur from its special space.
......
Da Fei suddenly felt overjoyed, the quantity of these crystals and sulfur was exactly what Brother Fei’s supplies were lacking, the trade was a success! However, looking at the exchange ratio between the rcury and Crystal Sulfur, it was basically 1 to 1, it seems like it did not reach the legendary effect of exchanging 1 rcury for 2 Sulfur from the hands of the Undead. But it doesn’t matter, even a 1 to 1 exchange satisfied Da Fei’s psychological price. In any case, this first transaction tackled the rare resources, and the remaining Ancient Granite wasn’t an issue at all.
Quickly, the Flying set its Magic Sails at full power and began its hastened voyage ho after being loaded with rcury. And at this mont, another row of System Prompts swept across the screen:
——System Prompt: Your Flying has produced 177 units of Refined Crystal from its special space.
——System Prompt: Your Flying has produced 173 units of Refined Crystal Sulfur from its special space.
......
Da Fei couldn’t help but be stunned, is this the cargo space unloading? It must be so. With Sain’s efficiency in quick fighting, he must have gone back to the Pool of Radiance to unload the cargo after negotiating the first trade. No good, Sain must be anxiously waiting at the dock, Brother Fei needs to hurry back! Damn it, compared to spatial cargo transport, this primitive thod of transport is totally Stone Age!
Just as Da Fei was anxiously conflicted and excited, yet another row of System Prompts swept across the screen:
——System Prompt: Your Flying has acquired 200 units of Ancient Granite from its special space.
——System Prompt: Your Flying has acquired 200 units of Ancient Granite from its special space.
——System Prompt: Your Flying has acquired 100 units of Ancient Granite from its special space.
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped with surprise, is this the second batch of goods received? Right, a full 500 units of Ancient Granite, just enough to fill the cargo space and essentially satisfy Brother Fei’s shortage of Ancient Granite. It ant that Sain, with just that first batch of 500 units of Concentrated rcury, exchanged for all the materials Brother Fei needed! Although the exchange of rcury for Crystal Sulfur didn’t yield any advantage, exchanging for stone did indeed yield a big harvest at 1 to 4!
Oh yeah! Big win, trading rcury with the Undead is just thrilling. Realizing this, Da Fei couldn’t help but bellow with laughter. After all this half day’s trouble, Brother Fei’s luxury Hydra Fortress can finally officially start construction!
With a burst of light, the Flying finally teleported back to the Radiant City.
And indeed, as expected, the docks were piled up with glittering Crystals, shiny yellow Sulfur, and Sain, excitedly pacing back and forth next to the Crystal Stone mountains.
Da Fei hurriedly laughed heartily as he rushed off the ship and said, "Mr. Sain, sorry to keep you waiting! You really solved a huge problem for , I haven’t even had the chance to deal with this new batch of rcury that I’ve brought in!"
It has to be said, were it not for the fact that Sain was a man, at this mont, Da Fei was so excited he almost wanted to rush up and give him a few smacks of kisses!
Sain too was excitedly flashing eyes and spoke with an emotional tone, "Lord City Lord, the capacity of our cargo space exceeded the other party’s expectations, and smuggling 500 units of Concentrated rcury is not a small figure, they consider us a force not to be underestimated. So the deal went very smoothly, and the other party is also interested in a long-term partnership. In short, this is the first major private client I’ve successfully established. With such a good start, I believe we’ll get more and more clients in the future."
A force not to be underestimated? That’s really insightful! But Sain, old pal, how much extra did you fish on the side during this exchange? Brother Fei doesn’t believe you just honestly traded resources.
Da Fei laughed and asked, "Congratulations, congratulations, by the way, who’s the other party?"
Sain shook his head solemnly and said, "I’m sorry, even though you are my most important partner, I cannot reveal the other party’s details, just as I would never disclose your information to anyone else. Alright, I’ve been out handling the rcury Factory business for too long, I must go back to the guild. As a business clerk or business manager, it’s very suspicious to be moving or eting clients without business, so I must assign a mission of Seven Cities Alliance’s rit to Lord City Lord, you must accept it!"
——System Prompt: Assistant Manager Sain from the Holy Crown City Alchemy Guild has issued a mission of Seven Cities Alliance’s rit "Investigation of the Kynos Ruins of Ti City" to you, do you accept?
Da Fei couldn’t help but be stunned for a mont. What’s this? Well, just like how ordinary players can’t expect to see the mayor Duke without a quest storyline, it ans he gave
a special quest so I’d always have an excuse to see him. There’s nothing else to say then; I must accept. Speaking of which, isn’t getting a quest from the Mage Academy quite an incredible thing?
——System Prompt: You have accepted a rit task from the Seven Cities Alliance...
——Task Hint: In the Year 54 before the Creation Era, the seven leaders of the Seven Cities Alliance, the Ti King Temokhan, Elental Lord Zesier, Master of Destruction Fayiz, Wind Speaker Horla, Storm King Magnus, Dragon Slayer De Ken, and Great Sage Serles joined hands to build an experintal city called Kynos in a mysterious place in the Gobi to explore the secrets of ti and attempt to reverse it. The experint failed, and nurous monsters were born from temporal rifts, leaving the city desolate and filled with dangers. Your task is to search for any information you deem valuable.
Holy cow! Isn’t this the legendary quest issued jointly by the Seven Cities Alliance leaders to grind Mage Academy reputation during the open beta? If you can get this quest, it ans you have already made a na for yourself in the Seven Cities Alliance, and the next step would be to prepare for a long-term camp in the Ruined City, with the Hidden Profession Alchemist and various high-tech wonders beckoning players!
Just then, Sain spoke again, "Lord City Lord, technically you’re not qualified for this task, but given your high World reputation and our guild’s multiple large transactions with you, we can make an exception. One more hint for you, Lord City Lord, killing Clock Monsters in Ti City and collecting 500 clock parts will allow you to exchange sothing with . I must leave now, farewell!"
As expected, this was the famous quest from the public test to exchange parts for rit.
Seeing him about to leave, Da Fei suddenly rembered sothing and hurriedly said, "Oh, right, before my rcury Factory is operational, Mr. Sain, please don’t take any rcury business."
Sain nodded, "Got it! Your ship also needs ti to accumulate power; it can’t be using the cargo space too frequently." With that, he rushed through the Teleportation Array and disappeared from sight.
Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief. With nothing more to say, it was ti to unload the rcury into the city storage, transport dock resources aboard the ship in batches, and officially start the fortification construction.
Right, since the rcury is here anyway, I might as well repay all my debts.
Da Fei then ssaged Ma Yinglong, "Boss Ma, I’m back from the quest. I’ll repay you the 200 units of Concentrated rcury and the 10 million Gold Coins I owe you."
Ma Yinglong replied imdiately, "Brother Fei, no rush, you don’t have to be so polite."
Pretend politeness my ass, Da Fei chuckled with surprise, "I’m not in a hurry, but who knows when the next ti will be when you can catch
after I finally return to the city?"
Ma Yinglong then chuckled anxiously, "That’s true, Brother Fei showing up like a Divine Dragon – visible just by its tail but never its head. Let’s just handle it now while you’re here. My alts will gather at World Tree Square’s Teleportation Array, I’ll have to trouble Brother Fei then."
Da Fei laughed heartily, "It’s not a bother at all, what are we brothers for?"
Soon, Ma Yinglong’s alts arrived, and Da Fei was up and down for 20 trips, handing over both the rcury and debt completely. And just at that mont when Da Fei paid back, a sense of loss sprang up. What the heck, indeed repaying debts was a troubling affair; no wonder many people liked to default and not repay.
But after repaying, the feeling of lightness and relief was also quite nice. Might as well clear Shenlan’s debt of 20 million Gold Coins too, it’ll save everyone worrying. I know my reputation is not good, people’s hearts are fluttering, worried that I won’t repay. I’ll show everyone, lending money to
is like lending to the United States, a wise and reliable choice!
So, Da Fei sent a ssage to Shenlan, "Bro, got ti? I’ve co to repay."
Shenlan replied imdiately, "Brother Fei, no need to rush!"
What the heck, you’re still pretending! If I were to delay for a few more days, I’m afraid you’d be the one to collapse from anxiety.
And so, amidst chit-chatting and exchanging pleasantries with Ma Yinglong, Shenlan, and others, the Flying was loaded up again. No more words needed, it set off once again.
One trip back and forth and then another trip. Finally, all the materials needed for the luxurious Hydra Fortress were gathered and piled up on the little island at the entrance of the Black Forest space.
At this ti, the Habbit Village Chief was already prepared for the foundation laying ceremony, and the Lizardman hero Fu’er, who offered to oversee the fortress construction, had already marked out the terrain for the foundation. When Da Fei perford the ribbon-cutting at the ceremony, all Habbit villagers erupted in a fervent cheer, and hundreds of fireworks burst forth in the sky.
The fortress was finally underway, another major task completed, fulfilling Da Fei’s heart with imnse satisfaction and a sense of accomplishnt. Seeing how hardworking the Hobbits were, Da Fei imdiately rembered his promise as the City Lord. Anyway, ti to haul back a load of good food and drinks to win over people’s hearts—the simplest way to do so is actually through eating and drinking.
......
When the Flying, loaded with delicious food, arrived back at Habbit Village, the children left behind in the village burst into jubilant cheers, and various fireworks blood in the sky like a festival all over again.
This should count as thoroughly settled now, right? It was now 10 PM, and for Da Fei, who had been through an all-nighter yesterday and only managed sporadic three-hour naps today – with a match coming up in the morning – an unstoppable drowsiness engulfed him. Set the alarm and sleep, then. When he wakes up in the morning, ready for a fierce battle.
(Tomorrow morning I have to go for an endoscopy, and just the thought of a tube being inserted through the throat of a long-term smoker with laryngopharyngitis makes
shiver....)(To be continued. If you like this work, please co to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.)
